Linda Holmes: 我认为《碟中谍：最终清算》的故事过于复杂和沉闷，虽然特技场面依然精彩，但整体而言，我对这部电影感到无聊。片中人工智能的呈现方式很普通，缺乏新意，而且我们看不到全球范围内发生了什么，使得反派的威胁感不足。此外，这部电影缺少一些乐趣和幽默感，使得观影体验不如之前的作品。 Ayesha Harris: 我认为《碟中谍》系列不像漫威电影那样需要深厚的背景知识，重点在于特技和场景。汤姆·克鲁斯想拥有像《速度与激情》系列那样的忠实观众，但《碟中谍》不是《速度与激情》。我无法对这部电影产生情感上的依恋，尽管我很喜欢 Tramiel Tillman 的表演。此外，我认为以操纵人类来实现其目标的人工智能反派，我以前没见过，但这部电影并没有充分利用这个概念。 Waylon Wong: 我非常喜欢这部《碟中谍》，尽管电影开头有点拖沓，但后来的动作场面非常精彩，总体来说我很喜欢。只要耐心，就会有回报。 Chris Klemek: 我也很喜欢这个系列，但这部电影的其他部分有点混乱。我觉得我好像在看一个粗剪版，需要进行一些修剪。这部电影的剪辑风格，尤其是在前三分之一，非常巴洛克式，让人困惑。汤姆·克鲁斯对待合作演员的方式比范·迪塞尔更温和。《碟中谍》系列花了一段时间才弄清楚自己想要表达什么。团队成员的消耗性削弱了该系列创造情感联系的能力。
